2021 Making Strides Awards
Spirit of Strides Awards
The Spirit of Strides Awards seek to honor and recognize all those who have gone above and beyond to help the American Cancer Society lead the fight for a world without breast cancer through Making Strides. From engaging survivors or an entire school community to promoting your event or creating an event experience to remember, our individual victories will collectively translate to the ultimate victory of beating our biggest rival – cancer.
